James Brown passed away early this morning of heart failure. I’m kinda hit hard by this because I’ve really been getting into alot of the old James Brown music and giving the JB’s (Brown’s band) mad props for their musical creativity. As you can see I added JB’s Monorail to the playlist a couple of weeks ago, so I’m kinda awestruck at the fact that this legend passed away so close to that. If you don’t know, now you know…
Yeah nigga, I got a picture already and the nigga JUST got signed two hours ago.New Years’ Update:
Over 200 tickets sold to WOMEN ONLY! Geez once the Chicago public finds this out it’s gonna be crazy town. I suggest dudes get on those presale tickets ASAP, the price rises by 15 duckets at the door!
Common performing his new song I Have A Dream with Will.I.Am, from Freedom Writers. The song is dope, quintessential Common.
Yo. Mr Shabazz here. I have a confession to make. I like a Pretty Ricky song. Hotline. Yeah. I know. Who knew that talentless R&B groups could stumble upon a hit every now and then? Download it here. I digress. I’ve been playing a lot of non-Hip-Hop music lately, mostly consisting of old & new Incubus, the old Strokes album Is This It? (if you haven’t peeped it hip hop heads, you should.) I also got my hands on a copy of an album created by an artist by the name of Regina Spektor. Her music is very fly; kind of a soulful jazzy sound mixed with production you would expect to hear from someone like The Strokes. It’s like 2007-Ramones-mixed with-Sarah Vaughn-sung by a Russian girl-type music. If you mess with new music, check it out. I posted her song Edit on the blog playlist. I got you covered G!
And now to the real reason I made this blog. I have a new love. A new fascination. She caged me with her melodious voice, her very existence. Nah I’m bullshitting. But her name is Keri Hilson and she’s pretty effin’ fun to look at. Not to mention her style is fly. Reminds me of Teedra Moses alot. I’m throwing both her songs on the blog playlist, Come Clean and Happy Juice (produced by Dr. Dre, featuring Snoop and Stat Quo). Ladies will like Come Clean, my dudes will like the picture. Nahmean!
Christmas Eve Update:
Looking for a different spot to throw the jump off. We still wanna make it happen though. Stay tuned.
New Years Eve Update:
Checked out the spot for the first time last night. It is HUGE. Definitely will be a fantastic spot for this year’s festivities. Get fly!

Note: This Blog has now been deleted. I wonder why?
Could it be someone at the label perhaps? Read on…
Look, Jay-Z’s subject matter was always garbage (or at least has been for the last 4 or so albums). The point here is not his topics, because before this, all he used to only talk about how everybody hates him and he’s made it, and see what happens when he know longer exists and aint no love blah, blah, blah…
Nonetheless, i always loved big Jigga.With Kingdom Come Jay was in a Lose/lose situation, because if he spoke of his struggles everyone would have said that he’s lying and he’s rich and he aint real etc.So that he was real and simply spoke about his ‘now’ reality, I applaud him.Therein lies the problem…
Musically, this album is as good as the Black Album. But my WORST fears were realised. It happened when I got word that Jigga had Gwyneth Paltrow singing the chorus to “Song Cry” at Royal Albert Hall.I was THE ONLY one who complained. I understand the Chris Martin connect, but when you have his actress wife singing another song on the same night… you are merely just saying “Look at me and my new friends”.I said this to everyone and Jigga then mentions it on his album!
Fifty Cent said; “If money hasn’t changed you, then you haven’t made enough”.Well Jay-Z has made enough and guess what folks… he’s changed.
It’s not the lifestyle I’m talking about, because for that i will just quote Arnold The Governor;”Anyone who says money changes you is a liar. I feel exactly the same way with 90 million dollars as I did when I had 50 million dollars”.He was joking but I get his point… Jay-Z has been mega rich for a mighty long time, AND he’s been dating Beyonce for years. Yet his art was unquestionable.
You know what’s changed folks?
HIS FLOW>>>
“Show Me What You Got” has to be one of Just Blaze’s greatest musical bangers… yet take yourself back to the first time you heard it.I thought… “What the hell…??” What BANGING beat has Jay-Z never slaughtered/absolutely pulverised? This was a first.A banging Just Blaze beat with Jigga equals “You Don’t Know”, “PSA”.It shouldn’t be a… a… a grower!!!
Throughout the whole album Jay-Z’s flow just isn’t Liiquid Nitrogen.It just… is. i mean, he sounds like Jigga, talks like Jigga, even rhymes like Jigga, but Iceberg Slim is dead.
And it’s this simple; whatever it was that Jay-Z had around him that kept his “flow futuristic”, is gone. Be it Dame, Biggs, competion with rivals, you name it… it has vanished.
it never mattered what Jigga was talking about. Flow-wise, he was always on top of his game.
Hate to sound cliche’ but Jigga’s problem is that he has lost the eye Rocky… The eye of the tiger. And he is supposed to lose it at some point. You can’t remain hungry forever. And probably he needs this kind of critical backlash in order for him to go back to the gym.
But we should all stop questioning his subject matter- as if he was saying something profound on The Black Album.
Here me out;
I remember the soldiers finding Saddam in Iraq, at that same time Alicia Keys released her version of ‘NY State Of Mind’ feat. Nas and The R.Nas rapped something to the effect of;”I’m pain, like Saddam Hussein, watching news clips of his dead son’s remains…”I can’t remember what it was exactly but it was to that effect.Around the same time, jigga was released; “What More Can i Say?”.Which showed me EXACTLY how much he was actually ’saying’ in the first place. So subject matter wise, at least now he’s rhyming about Hurricane Katrina!
To repeat, the problem here is ‘Your Boy Young’s flow. I will conclude by imploring you not to consider this a scathing review.For in the climate of Lil’ Scrappy (& all the Lil’s, including Weezy) and Young Joc (& all the Young’s, including Jeezy) , I still give this album 9/10.
But in the realm of Jay-Hova, it’s a mere 5.
Pour out a lil’ liqour for good ol’ Iceberg… and hope that his Kingdom Came.
